My Artists

My friend Oisin has just released an iPhone/iPod Touch app called My Artists. It hooks up your iTunes library with all the info, photos and discovery options of Last.FM, as well as offering very clever youtube playlists of songs that you don't have, to create a greatly enhanced music browsing experience. The more time I spend with it the more I like it. It reminds me of the long ago times when you would buy a CD and then come home listen to the music and look at the cover/read the lyrics and notes, except now you're hooked up with the infinite information-delivering power of The Internet. It gives a bit of personality back to your collection, allowing you to make a bit more of a connection between artists and their music and this is a very good thing.
